“Not that one,” Jasper injected, swiftly picking the chosen sushi roll up before Moonlight could reach it. “Eat that one.” And he shoved the avocado roll towards the anti-mage. “This one is roast pork, which happens to be a favourite of mine.” At least he could taste it now, even if it wasn’t – and would never be – the same as when he was human. He enjoyed the process of eating food, though, and took a sip of his coke.
Picking up his roast pork sushi roll, Jasper took a bite of it before replying to Moonlight’s quip, chewing thoughtfully. “I might someday. Not that you’ll live long enough to see it.” Immortality was a strange concept, and one that still gave Jasper hot and cold flushes when he thought about it too much. He could barely imagine making it to fifty, never mind five-hundred! It was an overwhelming concept. But he couldn’t imagine how jarring it would be to be a mage that wouldn’t live to be hundreds of years old. That had to suck, so of course, Jasper poked at it, since they were exchanging jabs and all.
“I’ve learned a lot since we last met,” Jasper said casually, before taking another bite of his sushi roll. He set it down, and took a swig of coke, then set that down. “Lots of interesting things. How is it you didn’t know how you’d taste?” Jasper was genuinely curious, since it was something that Fig had known about, and that Jasper hadn’t had to dig too far to find in his studies. Of course, he had the library of a man over six hundred years old to dig through, and a hundred-and-fifty year old tutor. But still, he was curious.
